Dear All Greetings once more, on this my final entry for my amazing trip this summer. I write this one on my fantastic final few days on this summer adventure exploring Viking lands, and they turned out to be a wonderful wrap up to this journey. I was tired and ready to go home, but still had just that little bit of travel energy within me to explore and enjoy my final few sights. On a cool, ... read more

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Amazing Iceland!
So enjoyed reading this last entry about your time in Iceland, Alex! How wonderful it was that you were able to see so much on your solo driving tour there -- real freedom! What an amazing country and this blog helped me remember my own limited time there! Visited southern Iceland for a VT Euromeet in 2018, and I seriously regret not going to the Blue Lagoon while in Reykjavik regardless of the price in this seriously expensive country! (Though I was able to get a very decent room for a good price right in Hlemmur Square!) I'm eager to read your latest blogs from your newest adventures!

Thank you
Thank you for your lovely and very encouraging comment Sylvia, I really appreciate it. Indeed, I very much enjoyed my first proper road trip travels during my time in Iceland. Great to hear you've also been able to make it to this amazing country, and well done on being able to find a centrally-located accommodation at a decent price - no mean feat in such a country! I'm saddened that the VT group is no more, and would perhaps recommend the TCC if you're interested in international travel meets - they have one every few years or so. Thanks again for your encouragement, and all the best 😊
